Marc Ambinder

Ambinder looks past Tuesday’s Pennsylvania primary to the tough decisions Democrats will have to make leading up to their convention. He notes that Hillary Clinton didn’t commit to staying in the race to the end. When asked by Larry King on Monday if she would campaign all the way to the Denver convention, she responded: “Well, I’m going until we get Florida and Michigan resolved. I’m going until everybody’s had a chance to vote in this process.” Ambinder also suggests that Democratic officials are “slow-walking” the challenge by the Florida and Michigan delegations to get seated at the convention. A decision to reinstate the delegates before primary voting stops would help Clinton, Ambinder writes and then suggests that Obama would benefit from a decision made after the final primary in June, when superdelegates are likely to have made their decisions.
